Chapter 5574: Chapter 5574: Reaching the Pinnacle of Life

Li Jinnian chuckled softly, not often letting himself have a hearty laugh, thus even his laughter sounded deep and resonated in his chest, making his shoulders shake. It continued for at least five minutes.

It wasn’t that he wanted to disrespect Xia Jinyuan, but the situation was genuinely hilarious.

Even Li Jinnian, usually expressionless and indifferent, found it funny, so it really must have been amusing.

Chief Engineer Fu, who originally wanted to ask Xia Jinyuan a question, saw how delighted his son-in-law was and felt a great comfort inside, his complexion improving by a lot.

And Ye Jian, she laughed uncontrollably as well.

So, when Captain Xia said he needed to rest for a while, he didn’t actually need rest or was tired, but because... because he was too overjoyed, overwhelmed with happiness, and needed to vent but didn’t want her to see, so he simply closed the door and made an excuse to be alone.

Uncle Fu, who was swiftly flipping a spatula while stir-frying, heard the laughter outside and told Ye Jian, "Listen to that laughter, listen to that laughter, I’ve never seen your dad laugh like this, Little Six is truly something, even making the future father-in-law so happy, it’s a first for him."

"Old Man Xia also hopes your dad agrees, and now that he is happily agreeing, Old Man Xia is even happier," Uncle Fu always prioritized taking care of Old Man Xia.

The delighted Old Man Xia told Chief Engineer Fu, "We need to pick a date and discuss the engagement with the Xia family now, it’s already the first day of the month. In four days, An Jiaxin will need to return to the army, so we can only pick a date within these four days."

"Right, time is indeed tight, but it’s just an engagement. As long as the date is set, and both families meet up, that will do."

"Engagement shouldn’t be taken lightly though, I’ll talk to Little Six during dinner, share our thoughts beforehand so that he can go back and tell the elders," Old Man Xia wasn’t fussy about the details, but he still cared about etiquette and planned to discuss further with Xia Jinyuan later.

Meanwhile, Xia Jinyuan, still in his room, heard the unceasing laughter of his future father-in-law and wanted to climb out the window to escape.

It was simply...

It was simply...

Too embarrassing!

Rarely embarrassed for himself, Comrade Xia sat at the edge of the bed, nearly pulling out tufts of his hair, until at last, he consoled himself: it’s okay to be happy, it’s okay to be happy. He was primarily concerned with making his future father-in-law happy, and now that he was, with such loud laughter, what was there to be embarrassed or uneasy about?

He should feel honored!

Yes, honored!

Honored to have made his future father-in-law laugh so heartily!

With such consolation, Xia Jinyuan finally calmed down, but didn’t come out right away, continuing to pretend he was resting in the guest room.

With such a commotion outside, and the prospective grandson-in-law not emerging, Old Man Xia figured he must be feeling embarrassed. Seeing Li Jinnian come downstairs, Old Man Xia smiled and said, "Jinnian, go to the room and ask Little Six to come down and sit, it’s not fun being alone in a room."

Li Jinnian didn’t go but walked closer, sitting next to Old Man Xia with a smile on his lips, "He probably won’t come out now, his sister will naturally go there later; just let him be alone for now."

He would come out, unlikely, he probably wanted to run away at one point.

Indeed, this side of Xia Jinyuan was something new to him; usually strong, occasionally dorky, truly amusing.
